You can now follow us on Google+ too! Google recently announced Google+ Pages, a way for brands and businesses to connect with customers and fans.
Be sure to add us to your Google+ circles and keep up to date with our latest news and articles.
Creating a Google+ Page is pretty straitghtforward. Go to the Create a Google+ Page, choose the type of page and fill in all the details.
If you want to be able to apply for Direct connect, which is a way of users to find your page in Google by just typing + followed by the name of the page, you need to add this HTML code to the <head> of your site:
<link href="https://plus.google.com/PAGE_ID/" rel="publisher" />
Make sure to fill all the information in your Google+ Page, including the URL to your website and all the contact information.
A Google+ Badge, which is currently only available as a preview, let's a user add a page to his circles directly from your website. You can use the Google+ Badge configuration tool to generate the necessary code. Use a static badge in the meantime, while the standard badge is in preview, to be sure that all your visitors can see a link to your Google+ Page. You can see our own badge on the right sidebar.
